   NA> The D'Bridge system you have configured as .59 and you are trying to send   
   NA> a   
   NA> message to .58 correct?   
       
   Correct.   
       
       
   NA> You need to route the message through the Boss if this is the case. You   
   NA> cannot   
   NA> send a message directly from .59 to .58. You can certainly compose a   
   NA> message   
   NA> to any point or system in the Pointlist, thats no problem - but it is   
   NA> important that the message is routed to the Boss.   
       
   I am not specifically tagging the message as crash or direct.  I am just   
   writing the message and saving it.   I was assuming that D'B would take care   
   of the routing if there are no other specifics provided.   
       
       
   NA> That is how the mailer was designed and why you are seeing the message   
   NA> for .58 as Hold/Unlisted because the mailer cannot directly send to   
   NA> another   
   NA> point system.   
       
   OK.  I get that.  No problem.   
       
   But here's an interesting thing.  I created a message for Tommi at 2:221/1.1   
   and D'B queued it up to poll 2:221/1 as expected! But, this happened:   
       
   20200217 21:55:21 [9780] BEGIN standalone, binkd/1.1a-99/Win32 -C -pv   
   dbridge.bnk   
   20200217 21:55:21 [9780] clientmgr started   
   20200217 21:55:21 [9780] the queue is empty, quitting...   
       
    ..and the message just seems to get dropped.  :(
